There's been much contention over the release date of Nokia's coming flagship phone, however the company has just stated the N8 will be available (in the UK, at least) for £429 SIM-free in the last week of this month, at their online store. From the 1st of October, Carphone Warehouse, O2, Orange, Phones4u, T-Mobile, Tesco Phone Shops, Three Mobile, Virgin Mobile and Vodafone will be selling it too.
